In episode four, we talk, typography.

We discuss the difference between a Font and a Typeface, the origin of the word “Font”, how the terms “Uppercase” and “Lowercase” came into being and a lot more. We talk about how to pick a typeface for your projects and a little bit about everyone’s favorite font Comic Sans 😜 and another special made-by-Google font.
